 Independent Palestinian Legislator, head of the Popular Committee Against the Siege (PCAS), Jamal El Khodary, stated on Tuesday that the Libyan ship (Al Marwa) is still in the regional waters after being intercepted by the Israeli Navy, and is still attempting to reach Gaza to deliver the humanitarian supplies it carries. El Khodary stated that the crisis in Gaza is escalating as the coastal region is out of medical supplies and basic goods and foods needed for daily livelihood. In an interview with Al Yawm (Today) Arabic newspaper, El Khodary said that the ship attempted once again to reach Gaza earlier on Tuesday morning but the Israeli Naval boats intercepted it. Arab member of the Knesset, Dr. Ahmad Tibi, attempted to intervene to allow the ship through, but Israel insists on blocking it. Furthermore, El Khodary said that the Libyan officials in charge of the ship insist that it should reach the Gaza shore in order to deliver the humanitarian and medical supplies it carries on board. El Khodary thanked Libya and its government for their efforts, and called on the International Community, as well as legal and human rights groups, to intervene and put pressure on Israel in order to allow the ship through Israel's blockade. |
